THE SPIRIT OF GOD








What are the mechanics of salvation? The Bible says we're saved by grace through faith. Most Christians can repeat that oft spoken line, and still have no idea how that works in our daily experience. Also, many folks will talk about the "indwelling" of the Spirit, but can't tell you how it comes about. It's not the Bible's fault.

Some folks haven't given salvation more than a few minutes consideration, and go around hoping they're saved. Well, here's a chance to lock down what salvation is, how it happens and how to get some. It all depends on the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God depends on faith. They must both be involved or there's no salvation.

The following study is pretty simple. The format is given at the beginning. The Pre-test is not really more than a way to understand what we are carrying around in our heads about the Spirit and salvation and faith. After you go through the study, you can go back to the Pre-test and compare your new understanding with your old misconceptions.

You might find it more convenient to print out the study. That way you'll have a copy you can refer to later, or to help do the study with others. The study is in six parts. The "SP"s indicate individual lessons.

Just so you won't be totally on your own with this study, I'm including an answer page. For your convenience, Ive icluded some extra links so you can switch back and forth between the study and the answer page. Try not to peak ahead of time, OK?
